Nose: Delicate, crisp green fruit. Floral notes. Palate: Light body, with a peppery character, green grapes, and honeydew melon. Finish: Increased pepper intensity, accompanied by vanilla custard and apple. I sampled this chilled, as suggested, and I must say it is exceptionally easy to drink. If you're familiar with the contribution of Nelson Sauvin hops in beer, this whiskey offers a comparable experience.

Spirits, leather, apple, vanilla, herbs, pepper, almonds. An excellent specimen for a cozy evening and unhurried enjoyment.
It has a scent reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, and its taste only carries over that freshness. Serve it cold.
Incredibly smooth, sweet, complex, subtle, fruity, with notes of apple and herbal undertones.
Less Sauvignon Blanc character than expected. Subtle green apple aroma and a faint whiskey note. Served chilled.
